T. Rex's ninth album Zinc Alloy And The Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow represented something of a departure for frontman Marc Bolan. Released in 1974, the album diverges from his earlier work and adopts a more experimental and funkier sound, one influenced by the black American music Bolan had been introduced to by his partner, Gloria Jones.
